    Tired of all the misinformation on #vanlife?

    In my series about real life vanlife this time I talk about being safe living in your van in the city. Many starting out are nervous about sleeping in their van as they have never done anything like this before. Mostly it is because they don't park in the right paces. Learn where to park and...

    Tired of all the misinformation on #vanlife?

    Smart idea!! I know a number of people that sold EVERYTHING to hit the road and found out weeks into it that they hated it. Then they had to buy everything back. Worse yet a few people that did that hit the road and within months one of them was sick. Without a home base doing Chemo or other...

    Tired of all the misinformation on #vanlife?

    I just finished a video about the "I am going to live in a van when I go to school". It can be done but it is a lot harder then most understand.

    Tired of all the misinformation on #vanlife?

    I am actually doing a video comparing the costs. Not in all cases but in many, I would say you are the exception when you consider the cost of the van factored in. 7k is about right for the expense of the room. I used 6k as someone I know is going to school and that is there cost for a room.

    WOW for two years. They must get the most expensive of everything when they go out. On another site they were brought up as well, seems to be a lot of people calling them out. I called one couple out that every time they showed pictures of them cooking the food was always in packages. Bags...

    Tired of all the misinformation on #vanlife?

    If you already have a truck a cabover is a smart idea. The biggest reason I went from TCer to C to van was I wanted a vehicle I could go from the front to the back. LOVED the C but too wide. I sold the truck when I sold the TCer so never had that to consider in the move to the van.

    Tired of all the misinformation on #vanlife?

    I think 75% - 90% of the Instagram van people are fake (I may be high but don't think so). I have seen the same person in #vanlife posts then post in other hashtags completely opposite from a vanlife lifesyle. . Same 20 year old, wearing the same expensive clothes, in amazing locations...

    Thanks, after having all the luxuries in a couple of my units and having to do the upkeep I prefer basic and simple.

    Tired of all the misinformation on #vanlife?

    I am on many forums and groups about #vanlife #tinyhomes #buslife #ambulanceconversions etc. I cannot believe all the misinformation that is out there. Some of the misinformation is done by accident. But just as much, if not more, is put out there by people that are trying to sell a product...

    Camper for the Cold

    GREAT info!! When I had my truck camper I would shut the fridge off for the winter and insulate the backside to help keep the camper warmer. Then I thought would it not make more sense to pull the fridge and completely insulate around the fridge so it is cut off from the heat of the camper...

    Camper for the Cold

    Forced air cannot create condensation. If it does then you have a BIG problem. Forced air is like a home furnace and the water vapor in the propane is vented with the exhaust. Propex, Webasto, Espar are the same design as a forced air (draw cold air in, return hot air, vent exhaust) but...

    Freeze dried hash browns - who else likes them?

    It is not the potatoes but what they cover them in. It is scary how much stuff has extras added. Cheese slices are coated in flour. Wine gums have potato added. Hot dogs have milk added. Getting to the point that you cannot eat anything without reading the ingredients.

    My Journey

    I understand what you are going through with your dog, I am so sorry. I am going through the same thing with mine. I have a 15 year old Border Collie / rottweiler cross. She use to travel with me then it became too hard for her to sit in a vehicle for a long time so she would stay home. I...
